Geocache Description:


The building was originally two properties. The first grant was to William Parrott on 1 January 1810, the second to John Condron on 25 August 1812. In 1888 the combined properties were sold to William Charles Payne who commissioned the building of Studley Park House. Built in the High Victorian style it was also known as "Payne's Folly". Payne sold the house to its architect, Francis Buckle, in 1891 and Buckle sold it in 1902 to Dr. Henry Oliver. Studley Park House became Camden Grammar School until 1933 when the property was sold to Arthur Gregory, a keen golfer who commissioned the construction of the golf course. In WW2 the Dept. of Defence took over the property and trained the newly formed Women's Royal Australian Army Corps at the house. The House is also known to be haunted.
